To be auctioned on 17-03-2005, Nottingham - BCA

[Jonny5]

IIRC

6.2 indicates a Murci
VT indicates a Diablo

2002 indicates a Murci...

Just did a lookup on the numberplate, definately a Murcielago. It's had 3 previous owners and is RHD

[Jonny5]

More info... It's a repo, Bentley Finance are the vendors. They reckon a guide price of 115k+

I'd say more like 105

Well that Murci was highlighted on here (or F Chat) last week - the one with the black bonnet. Steve F - can put you in touch with the owner directly if you want. Rick

yes please

[Jonny5]

it's had a big insurance claim,so guess it's a cat-d

[Jonny5]

I may be wrong on which cat it is, but it did spend 4 months at Lamborghini Wycombe - that I know for sure.

If you are serious about the car, mail me via profile offline... would rather not get into a bidding war!

[Jonny5]

I spent an hour researching the car today, and having spoken to Lamborghini Wycombe - they told me expressly a large insurance claim was made to cover the cost of the repair work to the substancial front left damage.

e-mail me if you want more info/contact details.

[Jonny5]

I got all my information from Alan Robb at LHW, he was in charge of repair and quality control / rehab of the car

It had a new clutch at the time also, which is of benefit
